Question: Discussion 1: Ethics versus Compliance

Before beginning your discussion, read the article Ethics vs. compliance: Do we really need to talk about both? Organizations often use the terms ethics and compliance interchangeably. However, there are some nuances that are different between compliance and ethics. After reading the article, compare and contrast the similarities and differences between compliance and ethics. Evaluate whether a compliance officer or an ethics officer would be a better fit in your current organization (or in an organization with which you are familiar).

Your response must be a minimum of 300 words.

Discussion 2: Ethics, Compliance, and Training

Read chapter four in the textbook and Ethics, reputation, and compliance gain as corporate priorities. In the article, Hagel (2015) stated

The demand for greater transparency from consumers and stakeholders across the world has pushed the areas of ethics and compliance up the corporate list of priorities in recent years. In addition, the risk to reputation and potential damage that can be done if evidence of unethical practice is discovered have increased significantly with the advent of social media. (para. 2)

Based on the importance of transparency, your organization (you can represent any organization, McDonalds, Starbucks, ESPN, etc.) has asked you to create a training presentation on ethics and compliance to be presented next week. Referencing the Hagel article, the Gonzales-Padron textbook, and at least two other journal articles, present an outline for your training as a response to this thread.

• Create an outline describing the information that you would include in your training presentation.

• Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Your response must be a minimum of 300 words.
